this wireless sony PS3controllers will be release at the same time when the Madden NFL 08 game from EA shipping on August 14th and it's pre-order on Amazon.com.
it's will sell for $49.99...
also a thumb keyboard add-on for SIXAXIS controllers. you can buy it from Amazon.com for $29.99.

That controller is fugly and where the heck is the PS button that is in the middle?

Usually the MadCatz controllers are cheaper. Which is why they exist. Making it the price be equivalent or even near the official controller defeats the purpose of a cheap control...

Yeah, but people will pay more for a branded item, remember these have an NFL team logo printed on them. Its for the same reason that official Nike clothing is more expensive than the supposedly counterfeit stuff. Its actually the same product (probably even made in the same sweat shop on the same machines by the same people), the point is people buy brand stuff, which means companies can charge more for it. If these controllers were official sony controllers with sports logos on them, they woud deffinately be more expensive than a regular sony controller.

I'd like to die with the songs I love stuck in my head. I hope to make the most of these hollow bones we become.
I raise a toast to the the souls that sang all along. I've been gathering friends to just to make some sounds,
before the ship goes down, I've been making amends by making the rounds before the whole world ends

The don't always suck, they're just not as good as official stuff ( the only reason to get a 3rd party controller is price and possibly ergonomics, you certainly wouldn't buy one for durability or usability).

I've never met a 3rd party controller that was good for more than anything other than using as a projectile weapon...

My controler original, 2nd player gets whatever I can get for 5bucks!! no complaining!
But I've had my share of 3rd party controlers.. they all worked great.
Don't have much to complain except for the strangely light weight controlers.. feels like missing 90&#37; of the stuff inside, and you can just break it doing a "Haddoken"
